Another starter leaves the Raiders game with an injury

Cleveland Browns starting linebacker Jordan Hicks left the game against the Raiders with an elbow injury. Hicks was injured during a tackle in the first quarter. Hiccup stood up slowly and immediately went to the medical tent to be examined. Hiccup soon went into the locker room. It is questionable whether he will return.

The Browns' backup linebackers Devin Bush and Winston Reid replaced Hicks in the game. Bush is a long-time veteran who will help carry the load for the Browns' defense. Reid is an undrafted free agent and a special teams ace.

The Cleveland Browns were bitten by the injury bug early in the season. The Browns offensive line is extremely banged up. At the start of the game they lost starting player Ethan Pocic. The Browns defense is not unscathed. Star Myles Garrett is battling a series of lower leg injuries. The Browns need to get healthy to remain competitive for the rest of the season.
